We have received your message.
The first part of the question asks if documents are already paginated
when the fo tree is constructed. The answer is NO. (At least for
content-driven, WP, and tech-pubs type documents.)
We are currently holding a number of meetings to clarify the organization
of the fo-tree so I will defer answering the latter part of your question
for a few weeks.

ArialDear sirs,
I'm writing to ask some advices about Formatting Objects.
I should have a question. If I read the actual XSL WD I don't
mean
well how I may decide page-breaks and 'who' must decide
page-breaks.Arial Is 'a FO document'
already completely paged or have another formatter
to decide for example if a paragraph at the end of a page must be
break?<<<<<<<<
The formatter must decide.
>>>>
Arial Are the only feature for
print formatting 'break-before,
break-after, keep, orphans, widows'? <<<<<<<<
These are the only properties that control the breaking of paragraphs,
these are not the only features related to print.
>>>>
Arial May you help me with
some suggestions of how you 'face' the problem
(it's very important to decide how implement
software)?<<<<<<<<
We are working on a number of examples for the next draft that I think
will answer your previous question.
